Derisking Core Modernisation for Successful Transformation

Combining automation with human expertise

Data-driven modernisation

Decades of cross-industry collaboration, listening to our clients and analysing their real-world problem domains, has resulted in the creation of a truly unique and patented approach. We use proven accelerators that facilitate a low risk and controlled end-to-end transformation of your legacy systems, through data-driven decision-making.

The cornerstone of our modernisation approach is an in-depth analysis of legacy technology assets. This analysis is supported by data-driven accelerators, reducing disruption and vastly increasing the speed and accuracy of delivery.   

  

Client subject matter expertise is used to validate findings, once produced, not help produce them. The perfect symbiosis of technology and humans.   

  

Decades of legacy modernisation experience are combined with our agile, effective delivery in pursuit of the next valuable, stable iteration. This approach has been proven again and again, with over 100 clients, across more than 300 systems and analysing over 500 million lines of code across many different technology stacks. 

 

From healthcare and insurance to payments and banking to airlines and automotive – we power your transformation with data and provide a roadmap to future architecture. 

Transform with agility and control

Our bespoke data-led approach not only re-engineers legacy technology but business processes too, leveraging existing assets – source code, log files, config files, etc., in combination with other sources of information – delivering that truly comprehensive modernisation that will evolve with agility.   

  

By ensuring a thorough renovation of systems, you are not only empowered to begin successfully implementing new and evolved business processes that will shape your organisation’s future but you can show tangible control of risk.   

  

Our approach will provide insight into your legacy systems that will entirely re-shape how digital modernisations are viewed.  

Why it works

Our end-to-end approach to core modernisation

As with any transformation the first step is defining your vision and strategy, we then progress through this sequence to achieve the desired outcomes:

Current state analysis

We undertake rigorous analysis with our proprietary approach and toolset, providing a comprehensive view of business processes, the core system’s internal workings and the supporting infrastructure. Our analysis identifies functional and technical gaps and modernisation opportunities.  

Strategy and roadmap

We use the informed starting point of the current state analysis and toolset to define the desired future state and roadmap to achieve it.  

Transformation in execution

Based on the current state analysis, strategy and roadmap, the transformation is executed using our unique digital transformation approach, supported by expertise and tooling for continuous monitoring and evolution.  

How it works

Transformation built on strong foundations

  • Expertise
    Leverages a diverse team of global and cross-industry experts, to provide deep domain knowledge, broad experience and ensure around the clock support. 
  • Playbooks
    Employs mature playbooks built on proven methodology for swift deployment, ensuring rapid and reliable integration and execution.
  • Proven automation
    Uses patented solutions and cutting-edge technology to automate labour-intensive tasks, improving efficiency across the board.
